Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1.5 to 2 cm thickness. Rub both sides with salt and pepper.
Prepare three bowls with flour, beaten egg, and panko.
Dip each chicken piece first in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing lightly so the crumbs stick.
Heat the oil in a wide pan to 175°C and fry the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden.
Transfer to paper towels, drain excess oil, slice into 2 cm strips, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Pound the chicken to an even 1.5 to 2 cm thickness, so the inside cooks before the panko burns. Heat the oil to 175°C; tiny bubbles should form around a test chopstick.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with finely sliced cabbage salad, tonkatsu-style sauce, soy sauce, and steamed rice.
